   C25K W1D2 - Went a little slower today on the walking intervals- I was helping a friend learn lines for a play she's in that opens Thanksgiving weekend (The Perfume Shop at The Belfry in Noblesville if you wanna go see it). So I walked a little slower so I could huff and puff lines out to her. But I did all running intervals at 5.0 and it was only the last one where it really felt like a challenge of any sort.

   C25K W1D1. For the first time in months, I wanted to run. And I did. The good news is that it didn't kill me. Improvements were evident- first time around, this workout was nearly impossible. Last time I tried starting this up again (over the summer), I wasn't able to do all running intervals at more than 4.5 on the treadmill. This time, each running ingerval was at 5.0 and I finished every one of them. I might even be looking forward to doing this again on Weds!

     I sat at the computer yesterday and mapped out how I could take the bus to work in the am, then ride my bike home at night. Scary thought (bikes and traffic - shudder)...but if I can't run, I need to do something!!! :-)

   Time is approximate and includes time taken at SAG stops. What a GREAT ride! 3 great stops- 2 SAG, 1 for lunch. Love all the home cooked food. I didn't eat as much as I did last time and we spent less time at each stop - which was perfect. Great route, loved the scenery of all the Indiana farms. Took an unplanned stop to check out one of the many very old cemetaries we passed- I just had to investiagte! Dates going back to 1879 and such. Great ride!

   Only 1 walking mile and I didn't push because I didn't have my gym clothes! I had shoes and socks and a spare tank and clean undies that I keep in my gym locker. So I did my mile in khakis, sneakers, regular bra, tank top. No big sweating for me today! Will try for a bike ride this evening to make up for it!

    5 mins warm up walk then tried to stick with 3 min run / 2 min walk intervals. Did ok except for when a hill would challenge me. Last interval was a slight downhill and then powered up a hill and it took all I had but it was my goal. Get up the hill without stopping and at a good speed. I like that I can do a big powerup like that- but it takes some serious recovery afterwards.

    Didn't have a big plan- which is unlike me. But just wanted to push and see how I did. The sun and I don't get along in the heat when it comes to running so I stayed indoors. Did the 2 miles, did a few bicep curls with 12 lb weights to use the muscles, and then did 1 mile on the stationary bike (2 mins 30 sec).

    Thought the break in the brutal heat meant running at noon was a good idea. But it wasn't. Hadn't hydrated enough and I walked more than I ran and I had to stop several times to hunch over to keep the contents of my tummy down. Blergh. But made it and that's what matters!

      You've been out of commission almost as much as I have, and really haven't been able to build up your heat tolerance yet. Cut yourself some slack.

    Yesterday, I pledged and planned on a fresh new start today. Going to start Couch to 5K as a way to get back into the swing of running. Going to get back on track with healthier food choices. But I woke up sick- cold or sinus thing. I feel awful. But I'm at work and I know that sometimes a good sweat helps me feel better. So I C25K W1D1 afterall and felt pretty good with the running and all that. The blah is just because I'm sick. Ugh.

    Did some road running and my first trail run. Hot, muggy, didn't really know where I was going, ran most of it on my own. Came home to hit the Farmer's Market with the family and then rode my bike for an hour and felt better and stronger. Did some trail running on this run and enjoyed it but didn't know where I was going and desperately needed bug spray.
